I have successfully ported the Kalliope voice assistant, https://kalliope-project.github.io/ , to the latest Mobian build, The process was fairly straightforward though the default trigger did have to be replaced with Mycroft Precise.

Add non-free to the Debian Bullseye entry in the apt sources.list config file.
Follow the kalliope install instructions for Debian Jessie
Install a starter kit
Install the precise trigger code for kalliope https://github.com/corus87/kalliope_trigger_precise
Configure trigger word
Start configuring your voice activated services!

When buying parts and accessories from the Pine64 store is there a way to increase quantity ordered of an item? Given the fragility of the Pinephone's back cover and shipping cost from overseas (costs far more than the part!) I'd like to order a couple of spare covers along with some other accessories and parts. However when adding to cart I don't see a way to change quantity, and it doesn't seem to be possible to change the quantity in the shopping cart either. Doing a second "Add to cart" for the back cover does not change quantity in the cart. Am I missing something or is it really possible to only order one of an item at a time?

Applications that try IPv6 connections first seem to use mobile data when the mobile data connection wwan0 has a valid IPv6 address and route when the wifi wlan0 only has IPv4. I suspect this is the reason why my November prepaid 500mb data has been consumed. It's my PinePhone test sim, so no loss. 

RedPocket a US MVNO on T-Mobile provides dual stack IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity. My home ISP does not provide IPv6 connectivity. This mismatch seems to be causing problems. My Mobian PinePhone was connected to my home network via usb-ethernet, wifi(wlan0) and mobile data(wwan0) when I apt installed some programs. The download process seems slow and then failed. I didn't check apt's download connections but I suspect they were using IPv6. Consumed the remaining monthly data allowance and then started to fail.

Any thoughts on adjusting the default Mobian routing to prevent applications from using IPv6 wwan0 mobile data when IPv4 WIFI or Ethernet is available? I assume there are some networking setting that can be used.

IPv6 could be disabled, not my preferred solution. T-Mobile and its MVNOs seems to prefer MMS messages get downloaded via IPv6. I've been using Janky-mms and would like to continue to have the ability to download MMS content.

Hey guys, received my Pinephone a couple of days ago and decided to flash Mobian to the emmc, but encountered
an issue.

I followed these guides:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=seLfbIIAycc
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kw3FFz7o-MU

They both use Jumpdrive and Etcher to flash the image and it seemed like the easiest way to go about the installation.
I've flashed Jumpdrive to an SD card I had lying around and managed to boot into it, but after I connected the Pinephone
through a cable to the PC, the emmc did not show up on Etcher like it did in both of these videos.
I tried installing a Manjaro VM to see if it's a Windows 10 problem but the phone still doesnt show up.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Hello,

I ordered a Pinephone several days ago and received a receipt for my order.  I'd like to know when to expect my order (I paid for the $25 shipping option) in the US but Pinephone has given me no ETA and has not responded to multiple email requests.  Can anyone tell me when my order will be shipped and how long I should expect it to take?

Thanks in advance.

I am trying to port the Kalliope voice assistant to Mobian as Kalliope works on Debian x86. The only issue I have found so far is I cannot find an ARM version of the pico TTS (text to speech) utility library. Before I try and build it myself I figured I would ask if anyone knows of a prebuilt ARM version. Any distros version would help.

TIA

So I got FDE mostly working, according to https://wiki.mobian-project.org/doku.php?id=security that guide. It's rather involved and the guide isn't complete.

edit - apparently I'm super late to the party - this script is a more complete version of what I've been doing.
https://gitlab.com/-/snippets/2027389

A small addendum follows, since the guide is incomplete. It assumes a debian laptop with the target image mounted at /mnt/target. G

If you're running this on your x86(_64) computer, you will need qemu-user-mode emulation, but don't fret. It's super easy. Use your package manager to install 'binfmt-support' and 'qemu-user-static' (or whatever your distro calls it - check pkgs.org). You should have a binary in /usr/bin/ called qemu-aarch64-static or something like that. Copy it to your target, i.e. /mnt/target/.

Copy your /etc/resolv.conf into the target as well. Then bind mounts to get things like update-initramfs working:

• mount --types proc /proc /mnt/target/proc
  
• mount --rbind /dev /mnt/target/dev
  
• mount --rbind /sys /mnt/target/sys
  

Hello there,

from v1.1.0 on the Axolotl Debian arm64 package files can be found in the Release Assets section of the official Axolotl Github page since cross-compiling and packaging is now done fully autmatically via Github workflow.

https://github.com/nanu-c/axolotl/releases

Please be aware that you can only use one primary device/registration in the Signal server world - Axolotl works as such primary device/registration.

And please feel free to post some feedback, if you like, and also check out the Mobian Wiki for Axolotl:

https://wiki.mobian-project.org/doku.php?id=axolotl

Old packages still can be found here on my Github page
